Don't do it!

.....that bad, huh? that seems like a fun experience - ripping up favorite shirts, riding uncomfortably for the comfort of the Mrs. its perfect!

These are the ones i have

They are small enough so they dont sag under their own weight and my combined weight (280lbs)  wont cause the rear to compress to much (but i also have a different shock+spring setup). im only 5'6 so my bike is stock height. HOWEVER the capcity of these bags is very limited. I am pretty good at stuffing a lot of stuff into a very little area. ANd i think this is perfect for a weekend get away with enough space for about ~10 pair of jeans comfortably.

Those look pretty sweet He-Man! from the pic they look like they attach via clips under the seat. Any issues with them sliding around/back and forth?

Not at all, its just because they are really small (13L i think) most saddles are in the 30 range. so its rigidity is enough to hold it shape and position. I like them, but again, you cant hold much.

These and the slightly larger version are on sale at NewEnough - $67

Horray for discounted gear! Horray!    for everyone using the money i saved from Gieco StopinTime!

man htats a huge savings from what i paid for mine!

I'm using Cargo Endurance sport bags on my bike and they cover the passenger pegs even w/o a tail chop.....and would not be nearly so secure if they were not on the pegs, and the bike feels too small for bags AND a passenger anyway, though it has worked fine for either

Government Employee Insurance Company  (no, they are not a government agency).  The reference is to a Geico add campaign.

So people can do a search to find these bags better.
